Prairie Windflower Anemone caroliniense
Windflowers are much more common than one might think, especially on hay meadows or more heavily grazed sites. They are easily overlooked because they are very early bloomers – late April in Nebraska – and very small, at about four inches tall. On the occasion that one happens on a large colony in bloom it is a shear delight of color and motion.
